Origin of the name

The Sudanese capital of Khartoum shares its name with a Lebanese village in the Kaza of Saida. The origin of the name is disputed, with some claiming that it originated from the Hebrew “Hartoum”, meaning sorcerer or priest. Others, however, attribute the name to the Syriac language, referring to the teeth of an elephant, which were found in the area hundreds of years ago.

Khartoum is located in the Saida Kaza in the mohafazat of South Lebanon. The village, which covers an area of 481 hectares and is situated 60 km from Beirut, stands at an altitude of 300m above sea level and can be reached by taking the following route:

The municipality received LBP 65.3 million ($43,330) in revenues from the Independent Municipal Fund for the years 2002 - 2004.
